Australian Law Schools Mooting Ranking

Moot court rankings are an indicator of a law school's commitment to practical legal education. They reflect the school's ability to train students in essential skills such as advocacy, legal reasoning, and oral argument. High rankings in moot court competitions suggest a strong focus on one aspect of experiential learning, which contributes to developing competent and competitive legal professionals. These rankings can serve as one benchmark for the quality of legal education and, for some, the school's ability to prepare students for real-world legal challenges.

The averages are calculated based on the available rankings from 2014 to 2023, available from the NICA Law School Rankings for Mooting Competitions.[107]

The NICA rankings evaluate law schools based on their performance in moot court competitions. The rankings consider two factors: the weight of the competitions, determined by the number participating law schools, and the advancement of teams within these competitions.[108]

UQ Law School has performed the best out of all of the law schools in Australia with respect to Moot court competitions averaging a World ranking of 27.2, and an Australia ranking of 3 from 2014 to 2023.
